Referring to FIG. 1, the wireless terminal comprises a controller 110, a modem 120, a radio frequency (RF) unit 123, an audio processor 125, a key input unit 127, a memory 130, a camera module unit 140, an image processor unit 150, a display unit 160, a Bluetooth module 170, and at least one of a microphone MIC and a speaker SPK. The radio frequency (RF) unit 123 performs a wireless communication of the wireless terminal. The RF unit 123 comprises an RF transmitter for up-converting a frequency of a transmission signal and amplifying the transmission signal, and an RF receiver for low-noise amplifying a reception signal and down-converting a frequency of the reception signal. The modulator/demodulator (MODEM) 120 comprises a transmitter for encoding and modulating the transmission signal, and a receiver for demodulating and decoding the reception signal. The audio processor unit 125 can comprise a COder/DECoder (CODEC). The codec comprises a data codec for processing packet data, and an audio codec for processing an audio signal such as voice. The audio processor unit 125 receives a digital audio signal from the modem 120, converts the received digital audio signal into an analog audio signal through the audio codec, and reproduces the analog audio signal. The audio processor unit 125 also receives an analog audio signal generated from the microphone MIC, converts the received analog audio signal into a digital audio signal through the audio codec, and transmits the digital audio signal to the modem 120. The codec can be provided separately or can be included in the controller 110.

The memory 130 can comprise a program memory and a data memory. The program memory can store programs for controlling a general operation of the wireless terminal, and programs for controlling registration and management of event information in the wireless terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention. The data memory temporarily stores data generated in the execution of the programs. The memory 130 preferably registers and stores a variety of event information such as schedules, anniversaries, memos, and TO-DO items according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The controller 110 controls the general operation of the wireless terminal. The controller 110 can also comprise the modem 120 and the codec. The controller 110 controls and displays the event information in a month view mode, a week view mode, and a day view mode, but is not limited thereto. The controller 110 controls registration, sort, “Go to,” sending, and deletion functions of event information, while controlling event information general operations according to an embodiment of the present invention.
